# sage\_init(3)

initialize sage library

## NAME

sage\_init - initialize sage library

## SYNOPSIS

void **sage\_init** (void)

## DESCRIPTION

Initialise the Sage library. This function links up the function pointers to the extensions that are reported by glGetString(GL\_EXTENSIONS) and sets the sage\_ext array to 1 for existing extensions.

Note that some Open GL implementations report an extension in the GL\_EXTENSIONS string but do not have the function implemented.
